Under the newlib interface most of our 'get' functions
represent a bit of a compromise in that the actual raw
values are coerced into one (probably ok) return type.
That approach creates the possibility of truncation at
best, and wouldn't serve future needs should something
other than numeric data be added to the 'get' results.
This commit trades the current compromise for a return
value guaranteed to satisfy all future needs, namely a
pointer to a particular api's specific results struct.
The impact on existing programs is minimal, especially
when using a new supplied macro. Otherwise, native 'C'
syntax could be used, but may feel somewhat unnatural.

All our numa logic was well encapsulated under #ifndef
NUMA_DISABLE (as ./configure --disable-numa), with the
exception of 1 case label. The reason it didn't create
any problems is because the sole consumer (top) itself
responded to the presence of #define NUMA_DISABLE too.
But if that option wasn't used, an oops still awaited.
When experimenting with a 32-bit library plus a 64-bit
kernel, a bug was revealed should the numa library not
have been found. Our 'reap' function must tolerate the
potential of a 0 return from that stacks_fetch_tics().

When our <SLABINFO> was recently re-designed, the sort
callback functions became table driven, whereas before
a single callback used switch/case constructs based on
an 'item'. Thus, sorting was made a tad more efficient
but, it introduced a buglet into that slabtop program.
The root cause of this bug was the fact that the field
NAME required a low-to-high sort and all other slabtop
fields used high-to-low. Fortunately, along with those
<SLABINFO> table driven sort changes, that i/f offered
users the option of either low-to-high or high-to-low.
So this patch just exploits that choice. And, it means
that such responsibilities are now properly located in
calling code, not in what's a general purpose library.

And the troublesome field in question above is CGNAME.
It doesn't matter if a unique field is on or off, only
that it, as a higher enum/char, appear after all other

Signed-off-by: Jim Warner <james.warner@comcast.net>
After normalizing the <SLABINFO> module, much of which
was based on this module, a structure which is crucial
to concurrent select/reap support is renamed the same.
Such a need for concurrent support was revealed during
slabtop testing. That program requests (select) global
data after calling for individual node data (reap) but
before those stacks have been accessed. Therefore, one
set of 'items'/'extents' could not possibly be shared.
So now we will know the former struct fetch_support as
ext_support. The former name was potentially confusing
since the struct was used by both 'select' and 'reap'.
However, only 'reap' ever called the 'fetch' function.

Before this major redesign, the slabs interface likely
was our messiest 2nd generation attempt at opaqueness.
Beyond the standard 'new', 'ref' & 'unref', there were
a total of 12 exported functions. Now, there are four.
The 1st step was to remove several of those functions.
These were quick to go since they were not used (yet):
. procps_slabnode_count
. procps_slabnode_getname
. procps_slabnode_getstack
Then, the following were internalized so users needn't
be burdened with implementation details in the future:
. procps_slabinfo_read (renamed: read_slabinfo_failed)
. procps_slabnode_stacks_alloc (renamed: stacks_alloc)
Still others evolved into the minimal interface we had
strived for in the other upgraded 3rd generation APIs:
. procps_slabnode_get -----------> procps_slabinfo_get
. separate stack_alloc/fill --> procps_slabinfo_select
. separate stacks_alloc/fill ---> procps_slabinfo_reap
. procps_slabnode_stacks_sort --> procps_slabinfo_sort
------------------------------------------------------
Beyond those reductions, the major modifications were:
. This API tries to be as forgiving as possible and as
such won't throw errors when a caller request makes no
sense. For example, if a 'get' or 'select' requested a
SLABNODE item (with no current means to id that node),
results will be zero. By the same token, should 'reap'
include a global SLABS item (meaning those values will
be duplicated in *every* node stack) it'll be allowed.
. If the above behavior is undesired, a new #define of
ENFORCE_LOGICAL can be used to restrict certain items.
. Permission problems will now be caught at 'new' time
thanks to a priming 'read' call. That read also serves
to make DELTA values potentially useful at 1st access.
. Separate slab/slabnode enumerators were consolidated
into one, simplifying validation & the results struct.
. Several internal parameter checks were relaxed since
they were already checked by the caller. Besides if we
cannot trust our own code we might as well hang it up.
. That sort provision was made more efficient and will
offer the ascending choice, in addition to descending.
------------------------------------------------------
Lastly, some additional thoughts regarding the future:
. It would not be difficult to expand 'select' to also
accept a nodeid, or to clone it as 'select_node'. And,
should the same be extended to 'get', a results struct
could be returned instead of signed long accommodating
the extra data type(s) like a node name (string data).
. The 'get' function is not currently affected by that
define ENFORCE_LOGICAL. However, at some future point
perhaps -EINVAL would be more appropriate than a zero.

This commit just eliminates all the procps_vmstat_read

as needed when the 'get' and 'select' guys are called.
Signed-off-by: Jim Warner <james.warner@comcast.net>
This interface represented a 2nd generation attempt at
the opaque newlib approach. In other words, it did not
involve the 1st generation 'chains'. Instead, 'stacks'
were employed. But the interface wasn't user friendly.
Users were required to create their own stacks, before
calling 'getstack' to retrieve multiple results with a
single call. Even worse, sometimes 'read' was required
before calling 'get' when working with single results.
So this commit represents the 3rd generation approach.
We eliminate the burden of 'read' and creating stacks.
Rather, beyond those standard 'new', 'ref' and 'unref'
functions, we'll offer just 'get' (single result) plus
a 'select' function (for multiple results in 1 stack).
And along the way, this commit vastly expands the data
extracted from /proc/vmstat. All values that currently
exist (and their delta equivalents) are now available.
Deltas were included for everything because there's no
real runtime costs beyond using a little extra memory.
The only problem is a lack of documentation for all of
those fields, as is reflected in the references below.
Oh well, maybe someday someone will dig through kernel
sources & finally plug that rather large document gap.

Update the pids tests for tweaked API. Unsure why the toomany
test doesn't work, may point to a problem in the change as it used
to trigger, or the library has flexibility.
In that reference below a specific systemd problem was
fixed in the commit shown. However lurking deep within
the <pids> interface was yet one final case where NULL
could be returned, involving 'strv' and the following:
. a user requested both a single string vector (always
returned as a normal string) & the vectorized version,
as with PROCPS_PIDS_CMDLINE and PROCPS_PIDS_CMDLINE_V.
. a user simply duplicated some vectorized enum items.
The root of that NULL problem is the fact those single
string vectors shared the same proc_t field with their
true vectorized version. So while multiple occurrences
for most strings could be satisfied with strdup versus
the normal ownership usurpation, those true vectorized
fields could not be quite so easily copied/duplicated.
Thus newlib chose to return a NULL result.strv pointer
under either of the above scenarios (which perhaps was
just a user boo-boo in the first place). In any event,
the NULL was a potential for true string vectors only.
Now, since newlib is the sole caller into the readproc
module, separate fields have been created for what are
just normal strings (never vectorized) and those which
remain the true vectorized versions. And, former flags
which only worked if combined, now act as stand alone.
Thus, both PROCPS_PIDS_CMDLINE & PROCPS_PIDS_CMDLINE_V
can be used simultaneously (as they should have been).
Also with this patch, items which a user duplicates in
the stack (beyond the first such item) will return the
the string "[ duplicate ENUM_ID ]". This practice will
apply to both single strings and true vectorized ones.
In addition to informing users of their error, it will
also mean potential NULLs need now never be a concern.

. the _FLT_ (fault) fields were already signed long in

This represents a rather major interface redesign. The
following highlights most of the changes/enhancements.
. The 'read' interface (employed by pgrep & pidof) saw
the biggest change. The 'open', 'next' and 'shut' guys
all went bye-bye, replaced by a single 'get' function.
. The items specified at 'new' time no longer serve as
the maximum. In fact, items & numitems are now treated
as optional, should callers prefer to wait until later
when the 'reset' function would then become mandatory.
. Even at 'reset' time, the stacks are not tied to any
sort of maximum. They will grow dynamically as needed.
. The order of some parameters was changed to parallel
that found in our other APIs. Specifically, when items
& numitems are needed they're specified in that order.
. A user will no longer be prevented from concurrently
employing any accessor functions. In other words, that
'get' (old 'read') won't preclude 'reap' and 'select'.
. A duplicate enumerator was found dealing with locked
resident pages. So, the name VM_LOCK was eliminated in
favor of VM_RSS_LOCKED, which is way more descriptive.
. The struct address returned to callers following any
reap() or select() is now more sharable as pids_fetch.
. Some input parameter names were changed to make them
more descriptive of the intended purpose/requirements.
------------------------------------------------------
Internally, there were numerous implementation changes
made that did not directly impact any potential users.
. That #define FPRINT_STACKS was eliminated along with
the associated supporting function and its invocation.
. Addresses returned following 'reap' or 'select' will
now be NULL delimited, so one has the option of stacks
access via the total count or this new NULL fencepost.
. Input params were simplified and generalized in both
oldproc_open() & close() to enable more than 1 PROCTAB
to be open simultaneously, which was required for get.
. The PROCPS_PIDS_logical_end enum was relocated after
the Item_table making the need to keep it synchronized
more apparent (if the table expands it's right there).
. The 'Public function' section of the source file was
subdivided into 1) the three basic required functions;
and 2) functions that can sometimes vary between APIs.
